5 jewelry pieces with pearls you must get! (+What are pearls?)

Pearls are the ultimate all time classic jewelry. Women and men all over the world adore them and they are a common choice for a gift. But what exactly are pearls and where do they come from? Why are they so precious and what makes women love them so much?

Since ancient times, pearls have marked the lives of many historical figures… Once Cleopatra, as a sign of personal superiority, swallowed one ostentatiously in front of the court’s eyes, while many years later Queen Elizabeth established it as the… symbol of her virginity!

For many centuries, pearls were used for medical purposes… The Chinese took “pearl pills” to become immortal, while other Asian cultures used pearls as a treatment against fever, indigestion, bleeding, and many more.

In ancient Greece, the pearl was dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite, since according to the myth Aphrodite emerged from the water inside a shell, like the pearl. Homer also refers to pearls saying: “The precious stones, which shone like three bright drops, hung from her ears.”

Their impressive presence throughout the years brings us one of the longest-lasting trends in jewelry after gold and silver!
